Homebrew Clarification Thread - What is going on?

[GoodCookie88]

I got it to work on 10.3.0-28U O3DS using menuhax. Is it normal for it to freeze though? I pressed start which did nothing (which is normal right?) and then L+R+down+B didn't close it so I had to force shut down.

Normal as long as your getting DEADCAFE ur good

 

[vlasp01]

What is the difference between getting the DEADCAFE value with or without the force exit method?

nothing

 

[ric.]

I'm super late to this party, but I used to get DEADCAFE ocasionally with the older build. Now it just gets stuck at Map complete.
Weird.
Running on an O3DS on 10.3 through Ironhax with 2.5 payloads. I replaced the boot.3dsx with the memechunkhax2 test file.

You shouldn't have addresses; only the KObject one.

Ok, now sometimes I get:
post overwrite control result FFFFFFFF
final control result 00000000

and no freeze.

 

[4ur0r]

nothing

lol, thank you. Why is everyone freaking out though?
Also, what exactly does the DEADCAFE value means in order to downgrade? Sorry but I'm kind out of the circle

Imagine this, if there are this many questions and issues in regards to just getting a test to work. I wonder how the actual thing will work out.

10/10, 80 pages for a 179kb test file.

So a new commit was uploaded, and now everyone is testing and saying if it is stable or not.

We can ask the kernel to say hello and it responds.

Confirming DEADCAFE on O3DS 10.1.0.27U + Red Screen Hang on pressing Start.

EDIT. Using Theme/Menuhax

 

[MasterLel]

Last release : Works perfectly on O3DS 10.2 EUR using Themehax 2.1 hbl 2.5

except the exit function isn't working properly

OK, so at the beginning of the exploit, this "test value" is simply 0.
After some hacks and mechanics, some of the kernel pages are swapped out with pointers to a function.
This function sets "test value" to 0xDEADCAFE and is called by the kernel itself
The program then restores everything and prints the "test value".
If the kernel called the function, "test value" is now 0xDEADCAFE instead of 0x00000000!

This is important because the function was called via the kernel.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Okay thanks

Doing some test on my systems, here's the results so far:

o3DS: 8/10 (Menuhax, no FTP close) (FW: 10.3.0.28U)
n3DS: 1/10 (Menuhax, no FTP close) (FW: 9.4.0.21U)
n3DS: 4/10 (Menuhax; force-close FTP) FW: 9.4.0.21U)

Might keep updating this until I reach 10 tests on each system.

(Using THIS build)

(Things are looking grim for my n3ds..., will try and attempt to do 10 more with force-close ftp now)

Edit: Ironically the last test for my n3ds with force-close ftp gave me a 00000000, lol...

Any chance you are using an old version? This looks totally different than my screen output...

and no freeze.

You're not using the ihaveamac latest build. https://gbatemp.net/entry/the-memchunkhax2-hype-post-with-3dsx.10938/
